Probably Ep. II, that movie can be a bit painful to go through even though I'm not a prequel hater and OT wanker. But I didn't really pay any attention to Rogue One.
TFA is a disgrace of a movie. As much as people whine about Hollywood reboots of recent years at least those movies came up with a new plot. The total plagiarization of ANH coupled with the worst Mary Sue I ever had the misfortune to endure makes TFA one of the worst movie I ever saw.
TPM and AoTC were occasionally boring with some cringy dialogue. A way smaller offense than the above.

I've never met anyone who disliked ESB. Met plenty of people who couldn't get into ANH, but I convinced them to keep watching and they liked the rest of the saga.
Probably The Phantom Menace, though I don't dislike it overall and Darth Maul redeems the movie quite a bit for me. Also Liam Neesen as Qui-Gon and Ewan McGregor were amazingly cast for Jinn and Kenobi. I also don't like A New Hope.
I'll give u the benefit of doubt with not mentioning James Earl Jones giving one if the best voice acting performances in the history of film, since u might not be counting voice actors. But Alec Guiness, weak? Wtf.
I enjoy alot of the physical sets in TPM, and the comparatively limited use of CGI. It's still shit, but given those elements and a little Maul and Duel of Fates, it's superior to AotC. That movie is utter trash.
Simply "having a detective story" doesn't mean it was done well (it wasn't, it was a colossal pile of gooey tampons). The huge Jedi battle was emotionless, shoehorned, useless, fanservice--the opposite of quality. And I think people are confusing Liam Neeson with Qui-Gon Jinn. Neeson's not a perfect actor; he's fairly flat and doesn't do well with a stoic character who barely has any character written in. He's great when he's murdering people, looking threatening, or thwarting Nazis.
But Qui-Gon was a poorly written and poorly performed character. And it wasn't Neeson's fault.

McGregor, McDiarmid, Lee, Morrison, Jedi Temple inside, Palpatine's political games, Battle of the Geonosis, Fett vs Kenobi. No way it's worse then Anakin's "yuppy" and a lot of Jar-Jar in E1.
And Neeson is the strongest point of TPM as well as the weakest one. We have a guy, who stole the whole movie and it's screen time. And this guy wasn't even imporatant for the Saga.

Why do people rank AotC below TPM? Maybe it's because I haven't watched either since I was a young, adhd teenager obsessed with battle-scenes and action, but what exactly does TPM have going for it aside from Maul?
